Cosmic Diner

Welcome to Seamless!

Seamless allows you to enjoy convenient online ordering from the best local restaurants. If you're ordering for the first time, start your order by entering your address to the right. Return users log in here.

A wall of framed Broadway posters nods to the Great White Way, two-top and four-top booths accommodate thrifty theatergoers, and a takeout counter—which, like the diner itself, operates twenty four hours a day—caters to locals on the go. With fresh ingredients incorporated into its classic diner menu, Cosmic Diner touts its variety and its exceptional service. It has been serving the neighborhood for many years and is always welcoming new customers who want to taste the best New York has to offer. Cosmic Diner prides itself on friendly service 24/7 and will never let you down even when the sun goes down.

Sadly, an order placed at 2:18pm for 5:15pm delivery was delivered just before 3 pm. TWO HOURS EARLY. I showed the delivery guy the time on the receipt showing a 5:15pm delivery time, but English was not his first language and he muttered, they made it for me to take now. The food was fine, but I'll skip them in the future because of this error.

A sad story here. I used seamless to pre order a lunch for at 930 am to arrive at 12 lunch. Because of the lack of reading skills they bring it 30 minutes later. 10am i tell the delivery guy take it back. Why do i need it now? So at 1130 am the delivery guy is back (Mind you not 12 but 1130am) with the same food from before reheated in the microwave. I call the cosmic and tell him i know this is reheated. He tells me no its not it fresh made. Really??? Like i cant tell the difference. Any this is the last time in a string of failures for me ordering from cosmic i will make sure that our hotel staff no long orders from cosmic and will stop recommending cosmic to any of our guest. The are much better restaurants in the area who care about there customers.

Been ordering from here for a few months now. It's always on time. Occasionally they'll put the wrong thing in the bag, but they're always super quick to fix the problem. Great work all!

Always a great go-to for me. Love their pasta specials (penne a la vodka & pasta alfredo), and their caesar salad always comes w/ a lot of chicken.

Called 6 times in the span of two minutes and left before I could even get to the lobby (less than 10 minutes after the first call).

Not bad salads, but lame delivery. No dressing for the Caesar salad, which otherwise would have been great.

I have been ordering from Cosmic for over five years but whenever an order is placed over seamless web, with a note or substitution, they get it wrong. Even when additional cost is pre-authorized, they get it wrong. And they NEVER call if there's a problem. They just serve up and deliver the food order... WRONG. I'm done with Cosmic.

Worlds worst late night delivery. Rude workers, email confirmation said 15-30 minutes, 1 hr 9 mins later still waiting. Just called back for third time, and staff was rude! Don't do it...not worth it for subpar diner food!

Jalapeno poppers were fine, but a burger that was literally just a patty and a bun for $9? Definitely won't be ordering that again.

Worst place ever. I ordered breakfast and when it came half of my order was missing. I called to tell them and was spoken to very aggressively by a male who claimed that all of the food was delivered. I told him that it never got to my door (as I was looking right at it!) but he insisted that it was there. Once I realized that our conversation was going nowhere I asked him to come pick up the order and refund me..... Which he did not.
Do yourself a favor and don't bother with this restaurant. I never leave yelp reviews but am so shocked by my experience with this business that I find it necessary.

While delivery was quick, food was mediocre and incorrect. Not sure how you mess up a simple burger, but it happened.

I ordered fried fish and chips. I received 3 small fish portions that looked and tasted like the fish portions for Gordons Frozen Fish Portions that I give to my grandchildren. This was not what I would pay in a restaurant to eat, frozen warmed up fish portions. The egg cream and avacodo that I ordered as sides were the only good thing in the whole meal. Not saying I would not order from them again, I am saying that I would not order the fish and chips

Food not bad but i ordered disco fries and just got regular fries. How could you do that to someone :(

I ordered 3 scrambled eggs soft w/ cheddar cheese and a side of bacon, no toast, no potatoes. ~$13.40 + tax and 20% tip = $17.34.
Here are my scores (1=worst, 5=best):
Speed of delivery (19 min, .4 miles) - 4
Order Accuracy - 2
Food Temperature - 2
Taste - 3
Value - 3
Despite my instructions, they delivered the order with toast and potato chips. It was on the cold side; but edible. I was expecting the cheese cooked in with the eggs but it was just melted on top.
The order with tip was a $4.50 savings vs. ordering the same thing from Carnegie Deli, who would have had at least 50% more food and always arrives in 15 minutes or less.

I made an order and put in special instructions. I also didn't click "butter" on my toast. When I got my order, I found they didn't pay attention to my instructions, and sent me something I didn't want. I called to ask why, and was told I didn't "order it right" and was hung up on. There is a caveat on the Special instructions that says you will be charged differently for any additions or changes. Clearly, they saw the requests, and didn't pay attention to them. In my opinion, they should have called me to confirm the updated charge to me, as my phone number was available to them. Also- my toast arrived buttered. I will never order from them again.

Good news: My order arrived 10 minutes after I received the confirmation. Bad news: The food had obviously been sitting on the grill for a long while. Everything was dry and overcooked. It appeared that they dumped a meal that was returned by a diner customer on to a delivery customer.

Mediocre food, HORRIBLE service. One time they just flat out didn't deliver to me, then refused to give me a refund.

Love Cosmic Diner. It's become part of a weekly Sunday morning routine. They make great omelets (we're partial to the spinach and feta), pancakes and potatoes. The delivery is always fast and you get a lot of food for your money. Great anytime you want good, tasty food without getting up off the couch!

We have ordered from here a few times and always been pleased UNTIL now. Item I ordered was not received as described on menu. When I called, I was told that I had ordered wrong (which I had NOT). I was told that it wasn't worth the diner's time to replace my order! Person was very RUDE, yelling at me and would not listen to me as I tried to explain the description of the item that was on Seamless Web page. I asked for a refund and they told me that I would have to contact Seamless Web because it was THEIR fault! I did contact Seamless Web and explained the situation, they contacted the restaurant and got me my refund (thank you SW). Unfortunately I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS DINER AGAIN.

I've ordered from this place around 200 times (4-5 times per week for almost a year now). The food is excellent, delivery is fast, and the employees are courteous. Unfortunately, special instructions are ALWAYS ignored and if you place a big order you can almost always expect mistakes and items to be missing (i.e. - no coffees, no side of bacon with your eggs, a missing plate of chicken salad, ...). Although they are good about correcting their mistakes and redelivering any missing food, I'm getting too annoyed to call them every single day to have my order corrected and to have forgotten food redelivered. Also, I'm like most people and prefer to drink my morning coffee when I get my food, not 30 minutes later. If I wanted to make a phone call for every order, I wouldn't bother entering everything into Seamless Web in the first place. My advice for ordering from here is that you stick to ordering the basics directly off of the menu with no additional instructions and keep the order very, very small. If you don't want to do that, order from somewhere else. This is 4-star diner food, but the constantly, exponentially increasing mistakes over the past few months reduce this restaurant to a 2 star rating. It is a real shame that they usually can't complete an order properly anymore because their food is great, their people are nice, and their delivery is fast. In my case, I've had enough of the slipshot order filling. I'm going back to ordering from The Flame on 58th & 9th. The Flame's food may be a little worse and their phone people may sometimes be a bit surly, but they are very accommodating of special instructions and always get everything right the FIRST time. Cosmic Diner just lost me as a customer because their carelessness and lack of attention to detail finally just got to be too much for me. Ordering from a diner shouldn't be this complicated and time consuming.
